Does anyone remember the one Imperial officer who was kind of the outcast? I recall reading a comic, and this guy was awesome. Lieutenant something, if I remember correctly.

There was one scene where a vehicle was stuck in the mud, and two or three other officers were watching the stormtroopers struggle/get dirty, and the Lt. (rank could be mistaken) goes out there and helps them.

Win, thanks.  

[Sol Walker]

Had the Empire an officer Corps like Sunber, they could have won the war.
But too many bootlickers and Political appointees made rank, preventing many of the best soldiers from getting anywhere until well after the Empire had crumpled at Endor.  

[Valkore Fraust]

It's a shame, really. I was going to buy an officer uniform because of the Empire series comics. Specifically Janek.

Question on Jedi; what are their views on sex? I don't mean it to sound immature. They're forbidden to love; does that mean any attachment whatsoever?  

[Rodyn]

Well Nomi Sunrider and Ulic Qel-Droma had a kid, and so did Bastila and Revan. So it might be allowed. Granted, that's pre-Ruusan.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Say it was post-Ruusan, would they be expelled from the order, or punished in any way?  

[Rodyn]

They'd probably be punished somehow, but I doubt they'd be expelled unless it wasn't consensual.

Really depends on which era of jedi we're talking about.

If you're talking the twi'light council, sex is forbidden for the most part. Marriage and offspring are usually on a very special basis. There is some flirting and stuff done, as evidenced by Anakin, Obi-wan, and aalya secura, but nothing ever beyond perhaps simple petting. Sex probably would be frowned upon merely because it's easily passionate enough to make things very.. sticky for the cut and dry, black and white of the era.

However, pre and post Twilight council, you can generally see love and marriage being far more acceptable. *shrug*  

[Valkore Fraust]

Hm, interesting. I kind of figured they'd cut slack on the ones that were more experienced. Like masters.  

[Nelowulf]

Other way around. Masters would have no slack, compared to the "not as disciplined" younglings.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Ah. Makes sense lol. "We expect better of you" seems fitting.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Would it be impossible for one to obtain a Lambda shuttle? Are they sold to civilians?  

[Darkened Angel]

Maybe not impossible, but the things were expensive, and mostly for the purpose of escorting high-ranking officers and other top brass types. It was basically an armed limo.

The only instances of its use, according to Wookieepedia, involve either military or security forces. Nothing explicitly says a civilian couldn't have one though, but any that did would likely be corporate CEOs and the like.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Right. I figured someone wealthy would be able to own one. Maybe it's like a car dealership; buy a used Lambda with issues for cheap lol.

I've come to love that ship. I could see my character flying one that's used and in need of repairs simple for transportation and safety. They're cool. Like you said, armored limos.
